Default miracle gro sucks? lol
before i transplant, i want to buy some other soil...
because, people keep saying that miracle gro is, a bad choice
(if possible... can someone tell me why, it's bad to use?)
& that's what i'm using... does anyone know, what's good?
i was thinking about using those pink balls? lol
sorry, i don't know what it's called, but anyone, suggest a soil?

EDIT
for flowering, i was thinking something, like this

50% miracle grow or similar potting soil
20% jamaican bat guano
10% organic seafood fertilizer
10% perlite
05% sand
05% organic mix

Please don't use Miracle Grow soil Rasta... it would break my heart The main problem with MG soil is the shitty nutrients they conveniently pack into all their products. They are 100% chemical-based and end up burning most of the plants subjected to it. The NPK ratio of MG is not quite right for growing marijuana, and it lacks a lot of the secondary nutes your plants need to live a healthy, productive life. And if you try to correct a deficiency by increasing the strength of your concentration, you'll end up giving it too much of another nutrient that it is not deficient in and burn your plants. Go get yourself some FoxFarm Ocean Forest. It is perfect right out of the bag and won't need any supplementation for the first 3 weeks of use. Some people like adding a 20% cut of perlite to improve drainage, but I haven't found that to be necessary and use it straight out of the bag.

alright, i'll definitely exclude miracle gro rolla
i think that's why, my plants older leaves tips are brown/burnt looking?
but, you don't know, anything, similar to miracle gro?
any other potting soil? that's not that expensive? lol
i would use fox farm items, i just don't wish to buy things online
i much rather go off to the stores in my area, for ferts & soil

thanks, for letting me know about, miracle gro

i was thinking of doing something like this...

50% miracle grow or similar potting soil
20% jamaican bat guano
10% organic seafood fertilizer
10% perlite
05% sand
05% organic mix

EDIT
damn fdd, those buds are looking nice
that's from miracle gro..? wow, i don't know...
it's hard to choose, because, people choose different things
& pictures show both work, but, i don't know............

There's exceptions to every rule. I'm not saying that you CAN'T pull off a good crop using Miracle Grow. But for most growers, especially new growers who usually have other obstacles and problems to overcome, Miracle Grow is a poor choice of nutrients when there is a whole other world of better products available.

Rather than using a soil as your base, maybe you want to look into a soil-free substrate like peat moss, or coir. If you're going to be adding all those other components, peat moss or coir would be an excellent medium to provide aeration and structure.
